First question is whose alarm is it, and do you have the installer passcode. You'll need that to reconfigure the number it dials and what it does when it dials. Some alarms have voice capability, othes just speak code, may can dial pagers. There may be a voice module for your DSC if you don't have one now.

I don't know enough about the specific DSC alarms, but you may want to post the model number and see if someone more knowledgable than me can tell you what your unit can do.
